A theoretical model which takes into account thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL), conductivity (TSC) and exoelectronic emission (TSEE) is proposed in this article. The model is established for the case of a single type of electron trap, a single type of recombination centre and in the presence of thermally disconnected traps. It generalizes the model of Lewandowski and McKeever by taking the TSEE phenomenon into consideration. TSEE is described as resulting from the thermionic effect and so the model applies only to a thin solid film about 10 nm thick. As an application example, the influence of various parameters involved in the model on peak shape and position is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
